Overnight oats are the easiest high-protein breakfast you can make. Stir everything together in a jar, leave it in the fridge and the oats soften into a thick, creamy pudding by morning.
Why are overnight oats good for training days?
Oats give you slow-release carbohydrate for the session ahead, while Greek yoghurt and whey push the protein past 40 g. Eat them cold straight from the fridge, or loosen with a splash of milk and warm them through.

Method
- 1
Mix the base
Put the oats, yoghurt, milk, protein powder and chia seeds in a jar or container and stir until there are no dry lumps of powder.
Tip: Add the powder to the milk first and stir it smooth to avoid clumps.
- 2
Chill overnight
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, so the oats and chia seeds soak up the liquid.
- 3
Loosen
In the morning, stir well. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk.

Top and serve
Spoon the berries over the top, drizzle with honey and eat straight away.
Tip: Frozen berries thaw in about 10 minutes and add juice to the oats.
